Review on πŸ“¦ ORICO 5 Bay Hard Drive Enclosure: 3.5inch Raid USB3.0 to SATA Aluminum External HDD/SSD Storage - Secure Data Backup Up to 80TB by Justin Quinones

Revainrating 4 out of 5

all aluminum? NO!

"All aluminum alloy shells dissipate heat well, so the heat generated during use is accelerated by the wind flow". without ventilation. On the front panel you need to remove four small (captive) torx screws, which are basically the same screws used to attach the drives to the rails. I say mostly because the screw bag actually contains two screw types that are almost identical except for the thread pitch! Good luck sharing! Why they couldn't use thumbscrews or captive screws on the case (and captive/thumbscrews on the rails would be a bonus) is beyond me. Needless to say, I didn't even bother turning it on, putting it back in the box, and back again. to Revain and I will look elsewhere. (I've been using Mediasonic Probox cases for years, and it's a big step up in quality and design.)

Pros
